Chapter 404 New Business in Africa!
Chapter 404 New Business in Africa!
"In that case, let's raise the valuation to $150 billion, so we might be able to cash out more shares."
After saying that, Huang Tianya also showed an expression that said, "I understand you guys."
After all, if the goal is to fleece the Americans and let them recoup some of their losses, Huaxing can't keep suffering losses indefinitely.
"Mr. Huang, although the potential for payment software is greater than that for the instant messaging market."
but……"
James once again demonstrated the spirit of Wall Street: I can outmaneuver you, but you can't outmaneuver me.
"No buts, unless you can help me acquire a company in America, then I might consider it, and whoever accomplishes this goal, I can give up an extra 0.5% of the shares as a bonus."
After saying that, Huang Tianya wrote down another name: Light.
James and Wang Jianping exchanged glances, a hint of embarrassment flashing in their eyes.
After all, Huaxin Investment has long been blacklisted by the American M&A industry. No matter what assets they want, even a newly established small company, they are not allowed to acquire it.
But T-play is indeed valuable right now, so the two of them hesitantly took the paper and looked at it, but what they saw made them frown again.
It wasn't that the requirement was difficult, but rather that it was a company they had never heard of before.
But Shen Fei was well aware of his future, so he had Huang Tianya recruit him ahead of time.
Wang Jianping also quickly took out his phone to search for the company's business.
He then discovered that it was a small company that had just been established this year, specializing in multi-camera photography.
Although it is a startup, the founders are indeed in line with the level of American entrepreneurs, claiming to achieve 16-in-1 photography right after its establishment.
This means combining 16 lenses into a single ultra-high-definition photo, thus replacing a DSLR.
However, this goal was rejected by all investors, after all, it was too much of a gimmick and too big, and judging from the algorithm they published, it was actually a pile of garbage.
Huang Tianya initially shared this idea, but Shen Fei told him that future autonomous driving would be inseparable from multi-camera fusion, the number and models of mobile phone lenses, and algorithms would be the final hurdle!
There's absolutely no harm in poaching the team early on!
"Mr. Wang, do you think this kind of company has potential?"
James shook his head in disbelief!
Huang Tianya, unusually, didn't try to "set a trap" for them, and nodded very frankly.
"Don't you guys think this is incredibly high-tech? Sixteen cameras fused together, once it's successful..."
Just as James nodded thoughtfully, Wang Jianping felt he had seen through the trickery in Huang Tianya's eyes, and then said with a grin:
"Mr. Huang, we're all smart people. There's no need for you to set us up like this. We won't touch this kind of startup."
Then let's take a step back.
The company will offer 10% of its shares upon listing, with Huaxin Investment offering 5%. We will acquire 2.1% of that for 130 billion yuan. As for this small smokescreen, we will handle the acquisition for you…
As for that 0.5%...
At this point, Wang Jianping glanced at James again, who simply looked indifferent.
But his hand kept reaching for the phone...
Huang Tianya glanced at the new document and nodded.
"Then let's proceed with this plan."
The pen was very light, and Huang Tianya used it to sign his name.
After September 1, James and Wang Jianping shook hands with Huang Tianyang respectively.
All three men wore smiles, after all, it was a very successful collaboration, and all three of them got what they wanted. As for the unlucky ones, they were just the real victims.
After all, in the early stages of an IPO, those retail investors can't get any shares at all. By the time they do get them... they've already been served up.
Both of them left with smiles on their faces, but Huang Tianya knew that behind those smiles lay their own thoughts.
Light is their primary competitor going forward.
As for the post-IPO period, Goldman Sachs will certainly need T-play's payment data to study the spending power in Africa, while Morgan Stanley will also need some merchant networks to expand its investment banking business.
Of course, the most important thing is to fleece retail investors, since Wall Street never does business at a loss.
After the two of them left, Huang Tianyang began to plan his strategy. From initially entering the African market with counterfeit mobile phones, to e-commerce, payment, logistics, finance... Transsion has built its presence in Africa layer by layer, and now it is finally time to reap the rewards.
Just then, Shen Fei called:
"President Shen has already signed!"
Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley jointly underwrote the deal, valuing the company at $110 billion, with a partial valuation of $130 billion.
The initial price is $15, and it will be available next month.
And regarding Light, which you mentioned, both companies have already agreed.
"it is good."
Huang Tianya could hear the confidence in Shen Fei's voice: "We don't need to worry about the stock price after the listing."
In short, we'll only retain 15% of the shares; you're the expert in the specifics.
"clear!"
"Also, Adebayor is at headquarters. Go see him tonight and mainly talk about the 4G license."
Several African countries have already begun studying the distribution of these vaccines, with Nigeria making relatively rapid progress.
It's time for us to move into a new industry.
Huang Tianya nodded quickly. His business trip to Africa was not just for the listing of T-play. His real purpose was to visit Transsion Telecom Africa Ltd.
Registered in Mauritius, with operational headquarters in Lax.
"Boss, all the materials are ready."
"good.
I'll have a good talk with Adebayo tonight. In short, with the advent of the 4G era, we need to enter the operator market, and we'll use every means at our disposal.
After hanging up the phone, Huang Tianya walked out of the hotel and got into a Transsion S7 bulletproof car.
As for the car that Adebayo won at the annual meeting, it had already been distributed to his subordinates. He preferred this custom-made bulletproof car, which was not only safe but also significantly more comfortable.
On his way to the African headquarters, Huang Tianya took a look at the scenery along the way.
Transsion phones have a very high penetration rate; almost everyone in the alleys and streets has one.
Some are feature phones, some are Spark series smartphones, and some are S series smartphones.
This scene is more convincing than any financial report.
Not long after, Huang Tianya arrived at Transsion’s headquarters in Africa.
Unlike the last visit, the African headquarters is now in use, consisting of seven buildings.
They are all newly built high-rise buildings, and they are full of Chinese style.
It's a unique sight in the main city of Las Vegas.
"Mr. Huang, it's been a long time!"
Upon seeing Huang Tianya, Adebayor warmly approached him.
"Adebayo, congratulations, you're in the news again, for the third time now, right?"
This is the third time.
Adebayor waved his hand with a smile, a hint of embarrassed pride in his expression.
"They insisted on filming, and I couldn't refuse."
They took hundreds of photos and finally chose the ugliest one, but they insisted it was beautiful.
"But Mr. Huang, what about the 4G license..."
